Then create a society where there is no reason a woman would want to have an abortion. Except for it being retarded, or being raped, or incest, or the life of the mother. I'm talking about the financial negatives to having a kid. A poor person who has a kid typically ends up stuck in poverty.The falsehoods extend to the other side of the argument, primarily centering around the refusal to admit that a developing human baby is a human being at an early stage of life. If that could just be honestly dealt with, we could then have the REAL discussion and admit that human life carries a price tag, beyond which we are willing to sacrifice said life. We don't, however, want to admit we're willing to do that with the most innocent and vulnerable among us, so we cloak it with euphemisms designed to cloud reality. I mean, we already accept massive loss of life in other areas, but we're more honest about it.
For just one example, we accept tens of thousands of highway deaths every year solely for the privilege of driving fast. If every vehicle on the road was physically unable to travel faster than 35 mph, deaths due to car crashes would almost disappear. Society has decided it's worth losing all those lives just because we want to drive fast. You could poll people crusading against lives being lost in virtually every other arena, even people piously proclaiming that "It's worth any sacrifice it if it saves just one life", and there would be a large percentage that would vociferously complain if their car wouldn't go 85 mph anymore, even if it saved thousands of lives.
The point is, it's time to honest with abortion, about what it is and what it does. The goal of an abortion is a dead human. That's the bottom line, and until we can have an honest discussion where people state that they value their own convenience over the life of a growing baby, we will continue to have this fight. Heck, you can't even get people who always use the hard cases to justify abortion to agree on limiting it to just those cases.
If I were in college and knocked a girl up who I didn't want to have to raise a child with her, it's because it's going to be really expensive. I may have to drop out of college to raise the kid. Yada yada. Well if I wasn't going to have to pay child support, if it wasn't so expensive to have a kid. If the kid got free obamacare. If I could get free pre school before kindergarden. Free babysitters while I go to work. If it wasn't going to ruin my life to have a kid, I'd be all for what you are saying.
But you're not. I have to pay for this child. No thanks. And you even want me to keep the retard. Forget it.
